Alongside our AED5 billion pipeline and strong recurring revenue portfolio, we remain committed to shaping the emirate’s future with visionary projects that attract investors and enhance communities."
Sameh Muhtadi, CEO of RAK Properties, added, “Following an exceptional 2023, last year was focused on strategic preparation, strengthening our development pipeline, diversifying offerings, and forging key partnerships, including our collaboration with Four Seasons. The rapid sell-out of Mirasol’s first phase, our inaugural project in Mina for 2025, underscores the strong demand for our developments. We are committed to delivering projects with speed and precision, setting new benchmarks in quality and innovation.”
